The reconstruction is whats getting me here. I see portions of resemblance in both. In the new one, her face shape matches IMO, but the nose doesn't. In the old one, the nose matches IMO, but the face shape doesn't. I still think this is possible though. Should I send it in?
Did you ever send this in or check that she was ruled out?

Oh that is interesting.
Yes but does not mean much for ID. The jewelry was probably sold at fairs, local srtist markets etc. Anyone can buy it without personal data.

Only conclusion is that it was a necklace made by a local artist and was likely bought locally.

The watch seems more distinctive to me. It is interesting the artist who possibly made the necklace recognizes it. IF accurate, would be helpful if they had any record of sale.

The jewelry reminds me of Simone Ridinger, but she's a rule out. And that's quite a distance from Massachusetts anyway, so likely more just another young woman with similar taste.

I know its Timex, but its interesting. Maybe at the time it was common though?

Cheryl Yvonne Davis, missing July 4 1979 from Charleston SC, last seen outside 7-11 after midnight. Circumstances make it unlikely, but can't help noticing striking resemblance, jmo.

Pem Yates-Briggs, left Clackamas County OR in search of father in CA. Mother got a call from police agency asking if daughter had permission to cross the state line into California, mother said yes, and Pem never seen again. Missing 6/1/1979, not reported until 2024.

Debra Vowell, disappeared with husband and male acquaintance 1/24/79 while they were in a fishing boat off San Diego coast, the disappearance of vessel & passengers is believed to be in some way connected to a marijuana smuggling ring, and the business partner of the co-owner of the boat was also evidently suspected in some criminal matters.

Someone claiming to be Debra called her grandfather two years after disappearance saying she was trying to get to California and hung up abruptly. The grandfather (who I think worked for a sheriff's office at some point) did think it was her voice; if it is, and if the timing of the call's correct with two full years, Eklutna Doe can't be Debra.

Also had been listing Tami Sussi, see she's already mentioned. Also was going to list Anne D. Manchester, but seeing on here she's ruled out already. Definitely agreeing with earlier posts noting this woman from Canada:
Mary Frances Gregory. They're saying medium build, but she's generally very petite imo.

I tend to think this Doe's hair was on the much lighter side of brown, maybe dark blonde-- & maybe even lighter strawberry blonde.

Do we know if @othram has been asked to identify this woman? She has been without a name for far too long.

No mention in para 4 about which agency is being used. However the 3 other cases linked on page 2 were solved using genetic genealogy via Parabon.

My strange addition to this is just my opinion, but based on her sketch, she looks like a Melissa. I haven’t done a deep dive yet to see if there were any missing Melissas from around that time though.

Of course, me saying “she looks like her name is…” is the shakiest of ideas haha. I used to be very uncanny with guessing people’s names based on their appearances though.

All in all, this is just me posting that I really hope we hear an update or better yet an identification of her soon.

Hi there, new poster, but I noticed suspected victims of Robert Hansen Roxane Easland (never found) and Doe 311UFAK (never identified) have resemblances physically and in timeline. Pics of both ladies below, doe first, and Roxane second andthird picture (although she used many alias according to Namus)

Kathleen Paulsen - Yakima, WA 1979

Linking to a post I left on Kathleen’s page here, but has Kathleen Paulsen from Washington been excluded or considered as Eklutna Annie?

Aged 22, she was last seen mid-1979. Appearance-wise, she looks rather similar to the sketch of EA, and she is rumoured to have been living a transient lifestyle when she was last contacted/seen.

Their heights differ since Kathleen was noted to have been around 5’10 and EA around 5’4. But, given that EA’s height is an estimate from skeletal remains, it could be a few inches off.

Thoughts on case similarities between Doe and these women?

Kimberly Cozart: Heights, age and maybe hair as it was suggested Doe had hints of red in it match, Kimberly was from California where troopers believe doe travelled from. She was last seen in 1977 but was not reported missing until 1995. According to the doe network she hasn’t been compared to Eklunta’s case yet.

Eileen Francis Hynson: Heights, age and hair match. Also from California and not compared via the doe network yet, she disappeared on her way to a bridal fitting in 1976 leaving her luggage behind so circumstances don’t fit as well.

Kathleen Edna Rodgers: Again physical information matches, not compared via doe network, missing from California in 1973 after an argument with her step mother, but was known to be staying with friends after that until March 3rd.
